“Well now, that was quite different to my expectations based on the blurb, and in a good way. I wonu0026#39;t go into detail, but thereu0026#39;s a bit of a twist that starts to unfold, and even then youu0026#39;re not sure of the why until a little while afterwards when some judiciously used flashbacks give you more of a picture.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s surprisingly layered for this type of movie, and while the characters arenu0026#39;t always terribly likeable and we donu0026#39;t reeeeally get enough time to have a more developed relationship between them, the actors do quite well in establishing that theyu0026#39;re longtime friends.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall Iu0026#39;d say give this a watch – you wonu0026#39;t have wasted your time (as long as you donu0026#39;t go into it expecting some out and out monster fest). Even the ending has a little quirk to it!”
